"Are you in a better mood?" The dirty old man Ryan, carrying two bottles of wine, walked up to the observation deck of the distribution center and sat down with his nominal apprentice Wu Chang inside the semicircular transparent vault.
Wu Chang has been sitting in this transparent vault for more than four hours. In addition to the plate of dried meat, he is accompanied by a large wine bottle, with one-third of the low-quality wine remaining in it.
"I really don't know what you're thinking. You've made a small fortune for nothing, and why don't you get some good wine to drink? Here, drink this." After saying this, Old Man Lane handed over the wine in his hand.
Wu Chang was not polite to him. He took a sip from the wine bottle and let out a sigh of relief. "Aren't these the two most expensive bottles of wine in the bar? How do you have the money to buy them?"
"Haha, I used the money you deposited"
"Ah?" The shamelessness of the dirty old man made Wu Chang speechless. "Don't spend it randomly. 20% of it belongs to Parker. After all, he took me down the mine."
"Forget it, Pike said not to do it a long time ago. You almost died this time because Pike took you the wrong way. If you two had walked an extra hour and detoured from other mining areas, you might not have been in so much trouble."
"You can't blame Pike. He's been punched several times in this conflict. We can't let him get beaten in vain. I can't give him any less of the 16 Rainbow Coins."
Ryan pondered for a while and changed the topic, "Parker's matter is a small matter and can be dealt with at any time. I came to you mainly to talk to you about identity tattoos. Some things are best decided by you..."
Wuchang couldn't understand Ryan's hesitant look, "Isn't it just 500 gold coins? Wouldn't five rainbow coins be enough?"
"Haha, that's the theory. You have to know that the price of 500 gold coins can barely deceive the administrative system of Huang E Star. If you go to other civilized planets in the future, especially the capital star circle, this little money will not be enough.
"
After Ryan's introduction, Wuchang realized that identity tattoos contain too much information. The planet of birth, location, and time must be encoded, as well as life experiences including parents, relatives, and even schooling.
.
If Wu Chang just wants to get a legal identity in the abandoned mining area, 500 gold coins are indeed enough, because no one is interested in competing with a dirty rat. Everyone on this planet knows that there is no real information in the miners group. Most of them
Everyone has secrets that cannot be told.
To put it bluntly, the people in the police force have no interest in checking everyone's true information through the Internet.
But the force Wu Chang showed today, his calm attitude, and some famous quotes that popped up from time to time all surprised Ryan and Boss Pan. When everyone led the team back to the distribution center, the two people started shooting in the corner.
They had a secret meeting for a long time, and no one knew what they were talking about.
"We discussed it for a long time and thought it would be better to give you a real identity. We always feel that you will not survive in Huang'e Star for a long time. You have a vague aura that only big people have. I believe in your future.
The road will be very broad, but if you want to walk more steadily and further, you need an identity that can withstand interrogation."
"If it is possible in the future, you will enter other civilized planets, even capital planets. In those places, people with low-level black market tattoos can tell whether they are real or fake at a glance, and you will suffer a lot by then."
Wu Chang didn't expect that there were so many tricks in an identity tattoo. After thinking about it, he asked, "How much does a real identity tattoo cost?"
"Oh, a real tattoo requires mobilizing a lot of manpower, going to the planet where you were born to make up real paper documents, and sending you various information back to your hometown. In short, they want to turn a non-existent person into a law
A real person in the sense of the word. All of this costs money..."
"Stop inking and tell me how much it is."
"Well, Boss Pan and I will help you find connections. I estimate that you will need at least 55 Rainbow Coins..."
"Ah!" The calm Wuchang was stunned at the time. 5,500 gold coins? It's so expensive. The rainbow coins he just got immediately bottomed out. After subtracting the 16 rainbow coins given to Parker, Wuchang would only have the last remaining coins.
9 already.
"After this calculation, I can only have 900 gold coins left in the end? It seems that my beating is only worth this little money."
Ryan was also a little embarrassed. "There is nothing we can do. We only have this ability. They asked for 60 rainbow coins. We begged for a long time before they got 5. In the past, I would have spent so much money to do this."
What a waste of money..."
Wu Chang shook his head and stopped the old man from blaming himself, "Don't say that, you have helped me a lot. Money comes and goes quickly. As long as things are done, the money will be spent. Anyway, I
You can still make more money”
Ryan took a sip of wine, took a breath and said, "Pike also knew about this, so he offered not to give up the money..."
"No, you must give it. It's not easy for a timid guy like Parker to guard me until the end. I won't let my friends suffer."
Ryan didn't know what Wu Chang was thinking. In fact, Wu Chang thought very simply. If he could collect such precious crystals for the first time when he went down the well, he would definitely be able to collect more crystals in the future. Maybe it won't take many days for Wu Chang to
I can save a lot of money, then leave this planet and go somewhere else to have a good look at the world.
"Oh, by the way. Can you tell me the story of the crystal? Why did Huang Exing introduce such a strange law? Even if the crystal is precious, it's not this bad, right?"
"What do you know?" The old man took a sip of wine, then grabbed a piece of dried meat and threw it into his mouth. "This happened fifteen years ago, and I had only been on this planet for a few years at that time..."
From the old man's mouth, Liuhuo gradually learned the truth of the matter. It turned out that that year, a lucky miner mined the longest crystal in history, which was 43 centimeters long and was longer than the historical record of Huang Exing.
39 centimeters is a full 4 centimeters too long.
How precious a 43-centimeter crystal is is difficult to measure in terms of money. We only know that in this universe, the length of the crystal used by the legendary god-level battleship is only more than 50 centimeters, and the length of the crystal used by the god-level battleship in the entire universe is
There are only 3 ships.
The 43cm crystal can already be used to produce sub-god-level battleships, and there are only more than 500 sub-god-level battleships in the universe. Throughout the history of the Horsehead Star Circle, there is only one sub-god-level battleship.
It is His Majesty the Emperor's ship, the Pentium. As for the god-class battleship, a small force like the Horsehead Star Circle is simply not worthy of owning it.
"It is conceivable that when this crystal comes out, the Horse Head Star Circle will be able to add a sub-god-level battleship, so there is no need to talk nonsense about the preciousness of this crystal."
The following story is too cliche. 21 mine owners and 16 gangsters fought for three days and three nights to fight for this crystal. The entire abandoned mining area became a battlefield, with swarms of swarms.
The blows spread to Huang'e City, and the sky-high flames even covered up the light of the volcano's eruption.
At the end of the battle, when the governor mobilized reinforcements to control the situation, an unexpected scene happened. The miner, who had lost all his relatives and friends, actually smashed the crystal in front of thousands of people.
Shattered. Then he himself jumped off the tower and fell to his death.
"That incident was really too big, and the detailed information was actually revealed directly in front of the emperor. At that time, it was the most intense moment of the battle between the Hunter Star Circle and the Horsehead Star Circle. We already had two people in the Horsehead Star Circle.
Mortal Planet has been captured."
"When His Majesty the Emperor heard that a sub-god-level battleship had been destroyed just because of these greedy mine owners and gangsters, he was so angry that he vomited blood on the spot."
"With a mouthful of blood from the emperor, Huang'e Star turned into a sea of blood. More than 10,000 Imperial Guards rushed into the abandoned mining area, and a massacre began. The 21 mine owners plus 16 ** bosses included them
Thirty thousand of his relatives, friends and subordinates were all killed in one night."
"Not only were they killed, their corpses were also air-dropped to the territory of the cannibals in the south. Haha, those mutated cannibals are considered vegetarians. Thirty thousand corpses are enough for them to eat for half a year."
Dirty old man Ryan's introduction was very brief, but Wu Chang felt the bloody storm of that year. Killing 30,000 lives for a crystal is indeed a bit unimaginable, but look back at the two mortal stars that fell.
The tragic experience, people will no longer sympathize with these 30,000 lives.
"Now you should understand, it is not me who saves your life today, but the crystal you mined. If it is 19 centimeters, you will be exempted. If the crystal you mined today is more than 30 centimeters, I believe Ye
God would definitely not mind helping you kill the coyote Severn."
"So, the allusion that ordinary people are not guilty but are guilty of carrying a jade depends on their specific circumstances. There are still many things in this world where treasures save people."
Dirty old man Ryan felt that Wu Chang was not an ordinary person, but Wu Chang also felt that the old man was unusual, especially the last conversation between him and Ye Tian. This was not something that an old miner could say. The overall view in it was ordinary people.
Not at all.
Wuchang is good at face-to-face. The first impression that old man Ryan gave him was that of nobility. It was a bookish nobility, a nobility that was thoroughly tainted by knowledge. Although he couldn't figure out the old man's background, Wuchang knew that he was a cheap master.
, definitely a treasure.
While Wu Chang was chatting with Ryan, in the distribution center of the A332 mining area, Severn, whose face was covered in bruises, was sighing together with the blood rose wrapped in gauze around his neck.
"Ye Tian went too far. If you don't want it, just don't do it. Why are you still beating people so hard?" Blood Rose, who was helping Sai Wen apply the medicine, said angrily.
At this time, Seven lost all the arrogance he had during the day. He looked at the gauze around Blood Rose's neck and sighed, "It's my fault today. It was my miscalculation. Ye Tian is barely considered a branch of the royal family. This kind of person doesn't have much ability."
But he wants to save face. If we give him money in front of hundreds of people, how can he take it? He is eager to beat me in front of the crowd in order to gain a good reputation."
"Then what should we do? The money was fined in vain? The face was also lost?"
"How is that possible? You underestimate your man too much. Today's matter is just the beginning, and the work will come later. You prepare another 40 rainbow coins for me. I will visit the mine supervisor Roda tonight. I
I don’t believe it, Ye Tian really doesn’t have any cracks at all?”
The amount of money lost today was a bit too much. Blood Rose was very distressed, but she did not dare to disobey the man's order, so she could only open the safe pitifully, took out another 40 rainbow coins, and gave it to Seven.
When it got completely dark, Severn's land bike hurriedly disappeared into the black snow and headed straight to the north.
